why does nigeria petroluem minister not attend this meetings?
ReplyDeletehe has never attended any of this crucial meetings, instead he sends his assistant all the time...
Nigeria goes through fuel crises every year and yet can't find the solution to the problem. We take big titles and claim big salaries, but when it comes to knowing our job and doing it right, we have no clue. Give the country back to the British and stop all this foolishness called independence.
